Balenciaga's Chunky Triple-S Sneaker

After the Speed Trainer, Balenciaga led the trend of fashion sneakers once again.

The chunky dad sneaker trend has been all the rave. Balenciaga responded by releasing the chunkiest and most dad-like sneaker ever – the Triple S Trainers. The Triple S Trainers put the trend "ugly/dad/chunky sneakers" to a whole another level. It debuted during the Balenciaga’s FW17 runway shoe. The brand described this kick to be a visual medley that took inspiration from three different sports: running, basketball, and track and field. The shoe displays a triple sole that is stacked on top of the other, which is unheard of.

Some have pertained to the shoe as merely a natural phenomenon in fashion, adding that it is an adverse reaction to the recent fame of minimal and ultra-clean sneakers like the Stan Smiths.Ultimately, the Balenciaga Triple S Trainer leans more on the fashion world as it fulfills its aesthetic purposes. Consumers with deep pockets and avant-garde taste would surely enjoy this kick.

This kick is available in various colorways with a few being released in collaboration with other companies. This includes the Balenciaga Triple S drenched in blue and yellow which is a colorway released in collaboration with Ssense. The Balenciaga Triple S in neon green and cream is a Mr Porter collab while the Balenciaga Triple S cream and yellow is a Dover Street Market release.

Balenciaga introduced a stripped version of the Triple S sneaker in 2018 with an aim for easier pairing with everyday wear. This newer iteration features fewer overlays and simpler lines than its predecessor. In exchange for the multi-material upper and vibrant color schemes are mesh with nubuck overlays and fewer color contrasts and brandings, giving a more minimal aesthetic. The shoe also displays a barcode and the size on its tongue tag.

Another update of this famous sneaker is called the Balenciaga Triples S Clear Sole Trainers. This version features clear midsoles with air bubble units, which most likely is a response regarding comments about the weight and stiffness of the original model. The upgrade offers more shock absorption and reduced weight. This China-made Balenciaga Triple S is offered in black and white colorways.

Whether you're into this kick or not, the Triple S Trainers are undoubtedly a pair that's hard to ignore. Its unprecedented design coupled with its successful attempt to theatricalize the latest sneaker trend has most definitely captured your attention, whether you like it or not. This kick took cues from the 90s trend of chunky shoes, combined it with your grandpa's vintage sneakers and ran with it. It resulted in an out of this world looking sneaker, prompting some consumers to dub it as merely a futuristic kick.

These sneakers' color-blocked upper combined with its triple stacked sole and finished with a worn-in look doesn't suit most outfits, unfortunately. But with today's social media, styling tips for dressing the Triple S Trainers in different outfits are readily available.

Men’s Styling Tips

Some of the Balenciaga Triple S men’s outfits you could try are: pairing it with joggers or straight cut jeans, colored socks, and a shirt and jacket for the ultimate streetwear look or opt for sweatpants and sweatshirt for an athleisure-inspired outfit. For a complementary dad outfit, match your sneakers with oversized, cropped slacks and a button-down polo.

Women’s Styling Tips

The women could easily rock this kick with an oversized tee as a dress and accessorize with a puffer jacket for an effortless look during cold seasons. For a normcore-inspired ensemble, go for solid midi skirt matched with an oversized boxy top layered with a long coat. As a general rule of thumb, fashion-savvy wearers advised not to pair the shoe with tight-fitting pants, as this kick will look more massive than it already is.
